For the first time in decades, Nick Wright was prepared to enjoy an NFL season in which the Patriots weren’t a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
But in wake of New England’s latest transaction, the “First Things First” host believes he’ll no longer be afforded that satisfaction.
Even after Tom Brady left Foxboro in free agency, Wright thought the Patriots still had a chance to win a 12th consecutive AFC East title with Jarrett Stidham or Brian Hoyer under center. Now that Cam Newton has joined the quarterback group in New England, Wright, a diehard Kansas City Chiefs fan, believes the Patriots’ aspirations in the 2020 season go beyond a division crown.
